IMPROVEMENT 1N MITTENB.

The Schedule referred to in these Lette-rs Patent and making part of the lam.

To whom t may cmwern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen ToPPInG, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have in vented a n eW and useful Improvement in Method and Patterns for Cutting Out Mittens or .Gloves and I do declare that the following is atrue and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specification.

Figure l is a plan View of my pattern.

Figure 2 is a perspective View of the same, wheny the mitten be too small, orv the Wrong shape, the pat` tern may be foldedupon the red lines in g. l, and the material be entirely used up byy cutting each part separate.

A is the thumb B, the back C, the front; and

D, the ball of the thumb.

The superiority of this mitten over others is, that, when constructed of one piece, there are no seams in parts wz'here there is any strain, and, consequently, there is no ripping.

After the' mitten is cut, it is folded at the points shown vin red,l so that the edge E, of the thumb, will come in contact with and be sewn to the edge F of the face of the mitten. Ccmmencing to sew at the points X, and following along the edges as' they come, and sewing the same, the mitten is completed.

A gauntlet, of any desired form or material, may be attached to the wrist of the mitten, to give it a more comely appearance.

What I claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent.. is

Cutting the whole of a mitten, back, front, nand thumb, out of one and the samepiece of material, substantially as described and shown.

GEORGE TOPPING.
